Thane Creation
The first thing to do was calming the clans; with the transformation of the surrounding lands your dawi were clearly worried about other magic event that could happen in any moment. After a couple hours of talking and swearing you managed to stop them from squabbling like a group of manlings and restored a pretence of order in the encampment.
With that done you could move on the next objective, understanding where you were; with an order to the throng to form a circle to protect the caravan you, accompanied by the few rangers of your clan started exploring the surroundings. You spent almost the entirety of the day searching for a clue that could help locate your position on your maps, but that was impossible; there was no landmark that lead back to any known lands; it seems like you were transported to an unknown place.
After having returned to the camp you convoked the few elder of your clan together with the thanes of the clan Stonebrow and clan Ironshield; and together you created a plan on how to proceed: first thing in the morning the caravan would strike out in direction of the mountains where, once reached, they would find a few caves to use a momentary shelter. It was then that the problem begun; because nobody agreed on how to proceed later, some wanted to send out the rangers and a few members of the throng in search of a close settlement, others instead wanted to wait for a passing caravan of merchant to follow and a few other had proposed to start wandering in a determined location hoping to reach known lands; at that moment that an idea crossed your mind, and the more you thought about it, the more you were convinced by it. So while the elders and the thanes talked to each other you raised your voice in order to bring silence and to be heard by all, "I have a proposition; why, when we reach the mountains, we found our hold there? It is true that we are in an unknown land but we cannot hope to wander in search of a settlement; there could be any type of danger around us, from wandering monster to a Waaagh. Instead we should find a location suitable for a hold and settle there, once we are capable of defending our self, only then we will launch an expedition in order to find exactly where we are.
Your proposition started another round of discussion but in the end you were both the leader of the expedition and the Thane of the biggest clan, and that meant that your proposition was more an order; so in the next morning the clans started marching towards the mountains and, once there, the miners and the few stonemason you had at your disposal started searching for the perfect location to found your hold.
You are in a large valley covered by an extension of the large forest that surround the mountains, many streams cross the valley and you can see a few groups of deer grazing in the undergrowth, the valley look like a perfect location for the hold, but where exactly you found the hold?
[] At the feet of the largest mountain: you decide to start excavating the hold where the mountain meet the green valley.
[] High towards the peak of the mountain: you order to start the work towards the highest point of the tallest
The night found you in the solitude of your tent, updating the chronicles of your clan, finally writing the long awaited founding of an hold to call your own; after having finished writing the update you started flicking the pages of the book backwards, finally reaching your desired page. You traced with your finger the calligraphy of your father, reading the entry that record your birth, and your mind wandered towards those days, the days of happiness, the days of your life before the war; and you found warmth in those memories.

You closed the book with a sigh, letting the memories fade in the back of your mind; it was no good to live in the past, you had to think about the future of the clan and the struggles that will came. The last thing you did before sleeping was to oil and clean your weapon; it was the last gift you received from your father before he joined the High King's throng and so you care for it with more attention that your previous weapons
